Has anyone ever seen problems from running RCA wires with power wires?

I've done a few cars with the power and RCA wiring together and I've never seen any problems. Has anyone ever seen first hand EMI problems from this type of installation?

Yes I have.  High-current application and/or cheap RCA cables can cause you problems.

Although not common, I have as well, but only a handful of times.

Generally not a problem in car audio.

Cool, I was just wondering. I haven't done this with any high current wires. I can see it happening with piss poor RCA wiring.

Can anyone describe what happens to the sound?
